Jade Devis was just a few months pregnant when she learned she had a fast-growing type of breast cancer. Her OB-GYN’s outlook was grim, she says: “My baby was too young to save, and it was life-and-death for me.” Her story:
Even though the baby’s father wasn’t there for Devis, she got support from her mother and sisters, who did things like cook meals and go to the market for her. That was important to Devis, “because at the time I was hiding,” she says. She’d lost herduring chemo and “didn’t want to walk around, go out pregnant and bald -- a lot of insecurities there.”
Uncertainty plagued her during treatment. Would the baby be OK? Would the chemo harm him? “I didn’t have a nursery yet set up because I wasn’t sure what the outcome was going to be,” she says. “And I was refusing baby gifts from everybody because I didn’t want to come home and have to return all these baby gifts in the worst-case scenario.”
“The whole time I felt like I was being punished. I would sit in my room like I was in a jail cell, just waiting for the verdict,” she says. Her worst fears didn’t come true. In late July, she gave birth to a healthy son. “When the baby was born, and I heard crying, and the NICU cleared him, it was like the verdict was in,” she says. “It’s like that ‘we made it’ feeling, you know? ‘We’re here, we did it.’”
